BOTH my parents are Chicago police SERGEANTS. n i also know a lot of CHICAGO police because of this... all of them told me it is COMPLETELY LEGAL to OWN/WEAR a bulletproof vest AS LONG AS its not during the commission of a CRIME or as long as you are not a Felon or have a WARRANT issued for your ARREST.
If you are a felon, you can not possess a bullet proof vest.
No
No.
no
No.
Changed: No, not legally. Even more: In the United States, it is illegal for a felon to possess a bullet-proof vest, and it is illegal for ANYONE to possess one during the commission of a crime.
Yes they can. But may they? It is illegal for a felon to purchase or possess a bullet-proof vest in the U.S. under federal law.
It depends on where you are. In the U.S. there is no requirement of a license to own a bullet proof vest by federal law, and most states have no requirement for it. It is illegal to wear a bullet proof vest during the commission of a crime, and felons can't own bullet proof vests (I can't recall if that's state or federal laws), but otherwise, anyone can buy a vest.
I don't believe bullet proof vest were available during that time................
death. A bullet proof vest will not stop an RPG or do anything to reduce it's effect
